57—Determination of a person's age

        (1)         A court, family conference, or police officer will, in determining the age of a person for the purpose of this Act, act on the best evidence or information that is reasonably available but, in the absence of any such evidence or information, may itself estimate the age of the person.

        (2)         If, in any proceedings before a court, it becomes apparent to the court that the person the subject of those proceedings should, by reason of age, be dealt with in some other court, the court may remand that person to appear in the appropriate court.
